You keep me at arms lengthIn your quest for perfectionDoin' just the minimumTo hold on to my affectionI've waited patientlyHoping you'll come throughYou say you don't want to hurt meBut it's the first thing that you do.

I'm tired of having to beYour emotional insurance policy

You don't love meBut you'll settle for meYou don't love meBut you'll settle for meI love you with a heart so pureBut if you think I'll be waitingHoney don't be so sure.

The boys you date are beautifulThat's undeniableBut unlike meThey're unreliableYou take for granted I'llWait around for youTo be there to fall back onWhen your sexcapades are through

I'm tired of being your safety netThe more I care the more entangled I get

You don't love meBut you'll settle for meYou don't love meBut you'll settle for meI love you with a heart so pureBut if you think I'll be waitingHoney don't be so sure.
